Dear All,
Unfortunately, GiveForward just informed me today that they have to close down our campaign, as they do not endorse fundraising for legal fees. They recommended this site as it is dedicated to crowdfunding for this purpose. My sincere apologies - I should have looked into the site more closely, however in my haste to help Pancho I made the wrong decision. The good news is that we raised $9,050 (net of fees) through the site, which I have in an account. I did ask them to refund our fees since they decided to close our site however, they were not able to accommodate as the fees cover the processing costs. Please forward this new link to everyone you had previously sent to keep the momentum going.
Pancho has been wrongfully accused of a crime that he did not commit. We need to help him get out of jail where he has been since September 4. His court hearing is on 10/6 and his lawyer is speaking to both him and the accuser early next week where we are hopeful that the bail will be lowered to $15,000-$20,000 from $50,000 where it sits today. We would like to be in a position to have $20,000 by then so we can move swiftly to bail him out. He is greatly appreciative of everyone's well wishes and generosity so a big thanks to all the supporters to date. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime for updates or anything else at 917.742.0988 or pennybtsekouras@aol.com
Below is a recap of all who have contributed:
